We have at best a year or two

[Blandmum]

I said I wouldn't post again, but since MN has been supportive I thought it only fair.

We found out this afternoon, that dh has an agressice adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. With treatment a 'good' prognosis would be a a year or two. I know that in practice it will probably be less than this.

Poor sweet man.

Just wanted to say hi again MB. Thinking of you guys.

me too x

she posted an update/comment on the other thread this morning.

martianbishop, so sorry to hear this.

oh MB Im filling up thinking about you & your situation.
Cant imagine how you must be both feeling.
Im abit useless with words of wisdom, but just wanted to let you know, you are both in my thoughts.
So so sorry, what terribly sad news.

MB, I have only just seen this thread. I am so sorry to hear this. There are no words that I could type that will help you right now but I want you to know that I am thinking of you and your family.

You have many many friends on MN and we are all here to support you whenever you need us. 24/7 there will be someobody here for you.

You are in my thoughts

MB, im so so sorry, i have only just seen your thread on SN about DLa etc.

Dear MB - my heart breaks for what you and your family are having to deal with right now. I only hope that the love which is so evident between you becomes your light in the dark, your your quiet in the storm and cradles you both gently in it's warmth that you may find some peace in the stillness of the night.
Holding you close in my heart. xx

I'm so very sorry, hun, i send my love to you and yours and hope for the best for the time you have left together.

xxxxxxx

Tragic news MB - love and prayers to you all. Share memories, make more and smile every day. Trite as it may sound it is all of those you already have as well as those to come that will get you all through this difficult time. xx

MB - only just seen this. Once again I am so sorry for what your family are going through.

God what more can I say

Hugs xx

Oh MB I just searched for your name to see if any news (had missed this).

What can I say? I am so so sorry. Echo LGJ's post about your love for your Dh shining through. This is just horrible news and I am sitting here in tears.

If the power of positive thinking and goo dwishes could do anything, MN would make all this go away. We can't do that. But we can be there for you when you need us again.

Please make the most of th eprecious time you all have. Much much love. Cxx

mb - so sorry to hear this. Have been following your story but not posted before.

We have just been through this with fil - he was given a short time to live. Luckily dh was able to get over earlier in the year and spend some time with him when he was feeling weel. I know the family - dh, sil and step sils made a real effort to spend time with fil and they went away for trips together.

MIL really found the macmillan nurses brilliant. They were so fab and helpful.

fil died surrounded by his girls and went peacefully.

I know no matter how prepared you think you are you never really are.

My thoughts are with you and your wonderful family. Take each moment as a blessing and make it rich for all of you.

MB you are in my thoughts

MB I don't know what to say. it's not fair is it?

Oh fuck MB, I'm so sorry.

This puts all my so called "problems" right into perspective.

Lots of love to you and yours. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Try to be strong MB, love and best wishes to you both x

Oh martianbishop I'm so, so sorry. My dad died (aged just 64) two weeks ago and we are all shattered, even though we had seen him deteriorate quite quickly (he had Alzheimers disease but died of pneumonia) and had agreed a DNR with the medical staff. In the end he died very peacefully. There is nothing I can say to help, but I do hope you gain strength from people here, your family and friends, bundle xxxxxxxx
